One my favorite fantasies of all time. Poignant to the point of tears. Pain calls out from another time/reality. One of those books that "lingers in memory" long after you finish it. Out of print, but an ACE paperback is still available via the web. I wish it would come back into print so that others could enjoy it more easily. "...we may not follow after them; and for this reason we have now lost both the wealth and the wisdom, because we would not incline to the footprint with our mind." ( )
